FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What the Left Panel Open icon means and where it's used, then how to install, style, label and license it.
The left-panel-open icon represents a button or action to open a left-hand panel or sidebar in a user interface. This icon is commonly used in web and mobile applications to indicate the presence of a hidden menu or navigation drawer. The open panel allows users to access additional functionality or information.
In software applications, this icon often appears in the top navigation bar or header, signaling to users that they can access a menu or settings by clicking on it. Popular platforms like Figma, Notion, and Google Workspace use similar icons to indicate the presence of a left-hand panel.
From a UX perspective, the left-panel-open icon communicates the possibility of accessing additional features or information without cluttering the main interface. It helps users understand that there is more functionality available beyond what is currently visible, making it easier for them to navigate the application.
Left Panel Open is one of 15,862 icons in Material Symbols, made by Google and released under Apache 2.0. It is drawn on a 24 × 24 grid.
Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds LeftPanelOpenIcon to components/icons/material-symbols-left-panel-open.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.
Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed LeftPanelOpenIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.
Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.
With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Left Panel Open icon, or any of 15,862 Material Symbols icons, and install it from a prompt.
It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.
Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 24 × 24 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.
Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.
Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Left Panel Open", so screen readers say what it does.
Yes. LeftPanelOpenIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <LeftPanelOpenIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.
Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.
Yes. Apache 2.0 allows commercial use; keep the license notice when you ship the icons' source files. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.
No visible credit is required: Apache 2.0 only asks that you keep the license notice if you ship the icons' source files. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI already start with a comment naming Material Symbols, Google and the license.
Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.
